Real Climate Science

North Dakota had more than two hundred 40ºC readings in 1936, and none in 2012.

NOAA says that 2012 was the hottest and most extreme year ever in the US, based on the facts that they tamper with data and that there were many mild days and nights during the winter and spring.

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow

Why didn’t we listen? All that unequivocal heat and melting snow has led to disaster.

Winter Storm Atlas Forecast: Snow to Impact Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Western Nebraska

The calendar may have just turned to October; however, Winter Storm Atlas is poised to bring heavy snow to the northern Rockies, some snow even at lower elevations, and perhaps the season’s first snow to parts of the Northern Plains.

And the heat. Who can bear it?

For more than two years, as fighting has escalated throughout Syria, a group of villages peopled by government supporters in the mountains above this coastal city has been spared any attacks.

In spite of their proximity to the Turkish border, across which rebel fighters are armed and financed, farmers continued their lives as normal, even though as Alawites allied to the Shia sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs they could have been obvious targets.

At dawn on 4 August their peace was shattered. Armed rebels, led by local jihadis as well as members of Jabhat al-Nusra and the al-Qaida linked group, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, left their headquarters in the largely Sunni town of Salma. They sneaked into the al-Akrad mountains, taking control of five Alawite villages. The rebels called it Operation Liberation of the Coast and the aim was to send the government a message that even the Alawite heartland was no longer safe.

Rumours of massacres spread as some 25,000 Alawite villagers fled to Latakia. The next day the rebels captured more Alawite villages and reached Aramo, about 12 miles north of Qardaha, the Assads’ home town where Hafez al-Assad, the former president, is buried in a mausoleum. Over the next few days government forces regrouped and gradually recovered the lost ground with help from air strikes as well as local paramilitaries.

A couple of weeks ago he had to bomb Syria.  A couple of weeks before that he was sure that terrorists were going to blow up US embassies. A couple of weeks before that he was hijacking foreign President’s planes to get Snowden. A couple of weeks before that he was convinced that the climate was about to collapse.

Now he is threatening to default on the debt unless Congress lets him destroy the health care system in the US, and he is calling his political opponents terrorists. He needs to go. He is a total nut case, whack job, lunatic.

We are having the  snowiest year on record here along the Kevin Trenberth permanent drought stricken northern Colorado Front Range.

Boulder has already had 266 cm of snow this year, and we have had almost that much in Fort Collins.

The snow season is starting early again after a very late finish.

The IPCC report says that snow cover is declining.

Regardless of whether Boehner  caves, the Democrats are going to get slammed.

1. Boehner holds tight and Obama caves. Dems lose.
2. Boehner holds tight and Obama doesn’t cave. Obama gets impeached and off to Gitmo. Dems get destroyed in the next election.
3. Boehner caves and Obamanightmare goes into force. Incumbents from both parties get destroyed in the next election.

The only thing in play is how the Republicans fare. If they cave, they destroy any remaining credibility. If hey hold tight, they are heroes.

“I actually made it through this morning at 8:00 A.M. I have a preexisting condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K annually I chose tier 2 “Silver Plan” and my monthly premiums came out to $597.00 with $13,988 yearly deductible!!! There is NO POSSIBLE way that I can afford this so I “opt-out” and chose to continue along with no insurance.

I received an email tonight at 5:00 P.M. informing me that my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax return. Then you make it to the “REPERCUSSIONS PORTION” for “non-payment” of yearly fine. First, your drivers license will be suspended until paid, and if you go 24 consecutive months with “Non-Payment” and you happen to be a home owner, you will have a federal tax lien placed on your home. You can agree to give your bank information so that they can easy “Automatically withdraw” your “penalties” weekly, bi-weekly or monthly! This by no means is “Free” or even “Affordable.”
